I can confirm that the blank screen flickering is gone with 4.6.0-997-generic intel-drm-next. Just a follow up question: I am not that familiar with Kernel releases, but as I understand, the 4.4. has long term support, whereas the 4.6. doesnt. Will the driver from the 4.6. eventually be backported to 4.4.? Thanks for all the effort which has gone into this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1554613 Title: screen flickering on XPS13 9350 Status in Linux: Fix Released Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: see LP: #1552304 does not affect 4.4.0-8 affects 4.4.0-9 to 4.4.0-16 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: linux-image-generic 4.4.0.11.12 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-8.23-generic 4.4.2 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-8-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: tbonfort 1498 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Tue Mar 8 09:57:12 2016 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=3248e0d7-0dac-4ccc-8982-b5ac5ce6ed5e InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-01-07 (61 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0c45:670c Microdia Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0a5c:6412 Broadcom Corp.
